> ILL is a dumpster fire of a state True, but New York City has a per-capita municipal debt load double Chicago's, Connecticut and New Jersey are really the only two states in more dire financial straits than Illinois and for the pleasure of living back east I get to pay what seems like an order of magnitude more in taxes and housing costs. And obviously California is California. Loved, loved, loved it when I went to college in Los Angeles but have no real desire to ever work there. Maybe once I make my 50th million I'll be on the next flight out. Once climate change starts destroying the coasts and warming the interior, we'll see how bad the hick midwest really is :)
